I just purchased a heavy garlic press today...

:D and thinking outside the box so to speak i wondered what else i could use it for and i chopped up a piece of ginger and put it in the press and it came out just like the garlic does.
It's minced so fine that it goes easily into any recipe and i'm overjoyed at the ease of not having to chop with a knife :D . I know that others have been doing this for some time but it's new to me and i love it, doing double duty.

Sounds good. What brand is this device? Where did you get it? Any chance of a picture or a link? My garlic press isn't up to much and I am thinking of getting a new one.
Thanks

The discount store "Big Lots" sells these.
I don't know if you have one in your area, it's pretty heavy i was really surprise.
It only count $2.99, i could hardley believe the price.
It's the best one i've ever owned. Hope you find one where you live.
